I’ve sold a new story to the fine folks over at Martin Greenberg’s place for an upcoming DAW anthology called City Fantastic. The story was pretty fun to write. It’s about a black woman fighting to save her son from a crazy old man and a promising young trumpet player who’s been dead for twenty years. It’s set in New York, and it was a lot of fun pulling all my NYC experiences together to write it. I’ll post more when I know the release date, but I believe it’ll be closer to the end of 2009 or early 2010.
Oh, and thanks to Sarah Kelly and Will Ludwigsen for your excellent critiques. You guys rock.
Congratulations! That’s a great sale.
Congrats!
Thanks, Mary and Doug. I’m very excited about it. It’s kind of fun working within certain guidelines, as opposed to coming up with your own, somewhat random ideas for stories. For me, at least, it sort of heightens the bar and challenges me to write better, and usually when that happens, I write better. I imagine that’s true for many writers.
Congratulations!!
Congrats! The story sounds fascinating!
Felicitations!
That’s what I love about spec fic– you can be dead and promising at the same time. Congrats on the sale!
Thanks, everyone. And yeah, dead, promising… Even promising to be dead takes on a new meaning in spec fic…
Excellent, dude! Way to go, rock the house, raise the roof, and all that.
Awesome! Can’t wait to read the final version.
Thanks, Sarah and Kelly! Hey, your initials are reversed. Neat.
